1) The annual Base Rent for the Wachovia Bank space over the
first 5 years of the lease is assumed to be $5.92 per square foot
increasing 1.5 percent every 5 years over the 20 year initial lease
term.
2) We have assumed the 20 year Wachovia Bank lease
commences as of our effective date of valuation and that none of
the six 5 year renewal options are exercised as it is uncertain as
to the Bank’s needs in 20 years.
3) The building square footage used to estimate market value is
based upon information supplied to us by the buyer. We have
assumed that this figure is an accurate reflection of the subject
building's size.
Hypothetical Conditions: This appraisal employs the following hypothetical condition:
1) As the subject property is leased, the “As Dark” Value
assumes the entire property is vacant and available for lease at
current market terms.

This Report has been prepared to assist in the determination of whether to make a loan
evidenced by a note (the “Mortgage Note”) secured by the property referred to in the Report.
This Report may be relied upon by: (i) Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”); (ii) the
trustee of a trust created in connection with a securitization which includes the Mortgage Note or
an interest therein; and (iii) any other purchaser or assignee of the Mortgage Note or an interest
therein, upon such purchaser’s or assignee’s written acceptance of and consent to the terms of
this reliance letter. This Report may be, for information purposes only: (i) provided to any
potential purchaser or assignee of the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; (ii) provided to any
rating agency, rating securities which represent a beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund
that consists of mortgage loans including the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; and (iii)
referred to, quoted in or included with materials offering for sale the Mortgage Note or an
interest therein. There are no third party beneficiaries (intended or unintended) to this Report,
except as expressly stated herein. This Report speaks only as of its date.
This report may not be distributed or relied upon by any other persons or entities without the
written permission of Cushman & Wakefield, Inc.
This appraisal report has been prepared in accordance with our interpretation of Title XI of the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), and the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), including the Competency
Provision.
The property was inspected by and the report was prepared by Daniel C. Rudderow under the
supervision of Gerald B. McNamara, MAI.
This appraisal employs all three typical approaches to value: the Cost Approach, the Sales
Comparison Approach and the Income Capitalization Approach. Based on our analysis and
knowledge of the subject property type and relevant investor profiles, it is our opinion that all
approaches would be considered meaningful and applicable in developing a credible value
conclusion.
Based on our Complete Appraisal as defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice, we have developed an opinion that the market value of the Leased Fee
estate of the referenced property, subject to the assumptions and limiting conditions,
certifications, extraordinary and hypothetical conditions, if any, and definitions, “as is” on June
17, 2004 is:
$550,000

SUMMARY OF SALIENT FACTS
Extraordinary Assumptions
An extraordinary assumption is defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
Practice as “an assumption, directly related to a specific assignment, which, if found to be false,
could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions. Extraordinary assumptions presume as fact
otherwise uncertain information about physical, legal or economic characteristics of the subject
property; or about conditions external to the property, such as market conditions or trends; or
about the integrity of data used in an analysis.”
The appraisal employs the following extraordinary assumptions:
1) The annual Base Rent for the Wachovia Bank space over the first 5 years of the lease is
assumed to be $5.92 per square foot increasing 1.5 percent every 5 years over the 20 year
initial lease term.
2) We have assumed the 20 year Wachovia Bank lease commences as of our effective date of
valuation and that none of the six 5 year renewal options are exercised as it is uncertain as to
the Bank’s needs in 20 years.
3) The building square footage used to estimate market value is based upon information
supplied to us by the buyer. We have assumed that this figure is an accurate reflection of the
subject building's size.
Hypothetical Conditions
A hypothetical condition is defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
as “that which is contrary to what exists but is supposed for the purpose of analysis.
Hypothetical conditions assume conditions contrary to known facts about physical, legal, or
economic characteristics of the subject property; or about conditions external to the property,
such as market conditions or trends; or about the integrity of data used in an analysis.”
This appraisal employs the following hypothetical condition:
1) As the subject property is leased, the "As Dark" Value assumes the entire property is vacant
and available for lease at current market terms.

INTRODUCTION
Market Value
Market value is one of the central concepts of the appraisal practice. Market value is
differentiated from other types of value in that it is created by the collective patterns
of the market. A current economic definition agreed upon by agencies that regulate
federal financial institutions in the United States of America follows, taken from the
glossary of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of The
Appraisal Foundation:
The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open
market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting
prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue
stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified
date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
1. Buyer and seller are typically motivated;
2. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider
their own best interests;
3. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;
VALUATION SERVICES 2
INTRODUCTION
Market Rent
The rental income that a property would most probably command on the open
market, indicated by the current rents paid and asked for comparable space as of
the date of appraisal.
Cash Equivalent
A price expressed in terms of cash, as distinguished from a price expressed totally
or partly in terms of the face amounts of notes or other securities that cannot be sold
at their face amounts.
Exposure Time
Under Paragraph 3 of the Definition of Market Value, the value opinion presumes
that "A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market". Exposure time
is defined as the length of time the property interest being appraised would have
been offered on the market prior to the hypothetical consummation of a sale at the
market value on the effective date of the appraisal. Exposure time is presumed to
precede the effective date of the appraisal.
The reasonable exposure period is a function of price, time and use. It is not an isolated opinion
of time alone. Exposure time is different for various types of real estate and under various
market conditions. As noted above, exposure time is always presumed to precede the effective
date of appraisal. It is the length of time the property would have been offered prior to a
hypothetical market value sale on the effective date of appraisal. It is a retrospective opinion
based on an analysis of recent past events, assuming a competitive and open market. It
VALUATION SERVICES 3
INTRODUCTION
assumes not only adequate, sufficient and reasonable time but adequate, sufficient and a
reasonable marketing effort. Exposure time and conclusion of value are therefore interrelated.
Based on our review of national investor surveys, discussions with market participants and
information gathered during the sales verification process, a reasonable exposure time for the
subject property at the value concluded within this report would have been approximately nine
(9) months. This assumes an active and professional marketing plan would have been
employed by the current owner.
Marketing Time
Marketing time is an opinion of the time that might be required to sell a real property
interest at the appraised value. Marketing time is presumed to start on the effective
date of the appraisal and take place subsequent to the effective date of the
appraisal. The opinion of marketing time uses some of the same data analyzed in
the process of estimating reasonable exposure time and it is not intended to be a
prediction of a date of sale.
We believe, based on the assumptions employed in our analysis, as well as our selection of
investment parameters for the subject, that our value conclusion represents a price achievable
within nine (9) months.
Legal Description
The subject site is identified by Northumberland County as Tax Parcel Numbers 7-2-4-104 and
4-2-1-246. A legal description can be found in the Addenda to this report.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS
Northumberland County
Northumberland County was created in 1772, from parts of Lancaster, Cumberland, Berks,
Bedford and Northampton Counties. Sunbury, the county seat, was laid out in 1772,
incorporated as a borough in 1797, and became a city in 1921. Containing an area of 460
square miles, Northumberland County is located 50± miles north of Harrisburg along the
Susquehanna River in the heart of the Susquehanna Valley. It is bordered by Montour and
Columbia Counties to the north, Schuylkill County to the east, Union and Snyder counties to
the west and Dauphin County to the south.
Population
According to the most recent federal census, Northumberland County had a 2000 population
of 94,556 persons, a decrease of 2.3 percent decrease from the 1990 figure of 96,771. In
addition, this represents a population density of approximately 210 persons per square mile.
Employment
Historically, Northumberland County was best known as a coal mining area, with the various
communities here developed along the coal veins. Although the county continues to rank
highly in anthracite coal production in Pennsylvania, its importance has diminished in recent
years. Now, the major economic activities are manufacturing (textiles and transportation
equipment), agriculture (field crops and poultry), in addition to anthracite coal mining.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, the January 2004
unemployment rate in Northumberland County was 8.1 percent. This figure is higher than
the 6.1 percent for Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a whole. At the same time, the
unemployment rate for the United States was placed at 6.3 percent.
The median effective household buying income or disposable income after federal taxes in
Northumberland County is currently estimated to be $28,845. This is below the statewide
median level of $36,933. It is estimated that 28.8 percent of the 39,100 households have an
effective buying income under $35,000 annually, while 19.7 percent of households have
yearly EBI in excess of $50,000.
Linkages
Northumberland County benefits from an adequate transportation system linking the region
to the rest of the nation. Northumberland County is within 250 miles of six of the nation's top
25 markets including New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Pittsburgh
and Newark. Sunbury, the county seat, is a major hub for motor traffic in this region. PA
Routes 61 and 209 traverse east and west throughout the county, while PA State Route
225, 15 and 11 are the primary north/south thoroughfares. Additional major highways found
within the county include PA State Routes 147, 45, 522 and 35.
VALUATION SERVICES 6
REGIONAL ANALYSIS
Conclusion
Northumberland County is going through a restructuring period as a result of the decline of
coal as an energy source. While the population is expected to remain basically stable over
the near term, unemployment is high relative to state and national averages. However, the
economic development agencies throughout the county are committed to attract new
investments. Highway transportation is good and utilities are adequate for many
development opportunities. Additionally, there are adequate recreational and educational
opportunities in the area. It is our conclusion that the long-term trends of the region are
stable.

LOCAL AREA ANALYSIS
Location
The property is located in Mount Carmel Borough, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.
Mount Carmel Borough is an older municipality situated approximately 14.0 miles south of
Bloomsburg, 25.0 miles southwest of Hazleton, 40.0 miles southwest of Wilkes-Barre and 45.0
miles southeast of Williamsport. In addition, the Borough is virtually surrounded by Mount
Carmel Township. All told, the Borough contains a land area of 0.7 square miles.
Access
Access to the local market area is facilitated by Route 61. This roadway links with the Sunbury
area to the west and Interstate 81 to the east. Interstate 81 travels in a generally
northeast/southwest direction, linking with the Wilkes-Barre area and Interstate 80 to the north
and Interstate 78 to the south. Interstate 80 provides access to Stroudsburg and the New York
metropolitan area to the east and various towns in Pennsylvania to the west. In addition,
Interstate 476 which connects with Interstate 80 to the east, provides access to the Philadelphia
metropolitan area to the south. Interstate 78, which also links with Interstate 476, connects with
the Harrisburg area to the southwest, as well as the Allentown area to the east. The balance of
roadways serving the immediate area are primarily local roadways, serving the needs of the
local populace.
Conclusion
The subject property is situated at the southeast corner of West 3rd Street and South Maple
Street in Mount Carmel Borough, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. In addition, the
subject property contains a parking lot situated at the northeast corner of the same intersection.
The trend over the recent past has been one of stabilization after a period of steady decline.
Overall, the trend for the local marketplace appears to be stable.

OFFICE MARKET ANALYSIS
Local Overview
Mount Carmel is an older Borough situated in the northeast section of Pennsylvania. Office
users are typically local tenants, such as real estate agents, insurance brokers, attorneys and
small business people. Because of its size and local character of its tenants, there are no
published statistics on vacancy, rental rates and lease terms. But our survey of nearby buildings
indicated that vacancy rate appeared to be approximately 10.0 percent for similar type space.
Leasing Commissions
The standard leasing commission in this marketplace is based upon a percentage of the rent
paid. The norm is 6% of the first year’s rent, 5% of the second year’s rent, 4% of the third year’s
rent and 3% for each subsequent year. For renewals, half that amount is anticipated. The
leasing commission is typically paid half at signing and the remaining at occupancy.

IMPROVEMENTS DESCRIPTION
Interior Detail
Layout: The subject property represents a three-story office building,
with the first floor primarily used as a bank branch and the
second floor consisting of vacant office space. In addition, the
building contains a partial basement level. We would note that
the third floor office space was in shell-like condition as of the

Summary
Condition: Average
With the exception of the third story shell space, the building
has been well maintained and provides an average appearance
relative to competing buildings within its market.
We did not inspect the roof of the building or make a detailed
inspection of the mechanical systems. The appraisers,
however, are not qualified to render an opinion as to the
adequacy or condition of these components. The client is urged
to retain an expert in this field if detailed information is needed
about the adequacy and condition of mechanical systems.
Quality: Good
VALUATION SERVICES 13
IMPROVEMENTS DESCRIPTION
Design and Functionality: The subject was originally constructed as a bank building. Its
multi-story design is considered less functional for modern bank
operations than a one-story structure. While it can still be
utilized for bank operations, it is anticipated that at some future
date, it will be more functional for general office space. In
addition, the building contains a partial basement level. We
would note that the third floor office space was in shell-like
condition as of the date of inspection. However, it appears that
this space could be renovated and rented. We have estimated
a tenant improvement allowance for this portion of the building
of $15.00 per square foot.
Actual Age: 39 years
Effective Age: 25 years
Expected Economic Life: 50 years
Remaining Economic Life: 25 years
Hazardous Substances
We are not aware of any potentially hazardous materials (such as formaldehyde foam
insulation, asbestos insulation, radon gas emitting materials, or other potentially hazardous
materials) which may have been used in the construction of the improvements. However, we
are not qualified to detect such materials and urge the client to employ an expert in the field to
determine if such hazardous materials exist.
VALUATION SERVICES 14
REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
The property is subject to the taxing jurisdiction of Northumberland County. The assessors'
parcel identification numbers are 7-2-4-104 and 4-2-1-246. The assessment and taxes for the
property are presented below:
Total taxes for the property are $22,000, or $1.57 per square foot. Based upon tax burdens on
properties in the market that are similar to the subject, the subject’s real estate taxes appear to
be reasonable. Based upon historical trends, we have assumed taxes will increase 3.00 percent
per annum over the projection period.
The current assessment-to-value ratio in Northumberland County is 50.0 percent. Thus, the
subject’s assessment indicates a market value estimate by the taxing authority of $332,450 or
$23.75 per square foot. Based on our subsequent analysis, it would appear that the subject
property is favorably assessed.
Assessments in Pennsylvania are done irregularly and on a countywide basis. Therefore, a
sale of the subject would not trigger a re-assessment. However, a substantial renovation could
cause a re-assessment. When a building owner applies to a local township for a building permit
for renovation, this information is forwarded to the county assessor. A re-assessment would
typically be based primarily on the costs of the renovation.
VALUATION SERVICES 15
ZONING
The property is zoned C-2, Commercial by the City of Mount Carmel Borough. Permitted uses
within this district include a wide variety of office, retail and commercial development. Zoning
regulations imposed within this district are as follows:
ZONING REGULATIONS
Minimum Lot Area: None
Minimum Yard Requirements:
Front: None
Side: None
Rear: None
Maximum Building Height: 6 stories or 65 feet
Maximum Building Coverage: 75%
We are not experts in the interpretation of complex zoning ordinances but the property appears
to be a legal, conforming use based on our review of public information. The determination of
compliance is beyond the scope of a real estate appraisal.
We know of no deed restrictions, private or public, that further limit the subject property's use.
The research required to determine whether or not such restrictions exist, however, is beyond
the scope of this appraisal assignment. Deed restrictions are a legal matter and only a title
examination by an attorney or title company can usually uncover such restrictive covenants.
Thus, we recommend a title search to determine if any such restrictions do exist.
VALUATION SERVICES 16
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Legally Permissible
The first test concerns permitted uses. According to our understanding of the zoning ordinance,
noted earlier in this report, the site may legally be improved with structures that accommodate a
variety of commercial development. Aside from the site's zoning regulations, we are not aware
of any legal restrictions that limit the potential uses of the subject.
Physically Possible
The second test is what is physically possible. As discussed in the "Site Description," section of
the report, the site's size, soil, topography, etc. do not physically limit its use. The subject site is
of adequate shape and size to accommodate most permitted uses.

VALUATION PROCESS
Methodology
There are three generally accepted approaches available in developing an opinion of value: the
Cost, Sales Comparison and Income Capitalization approaches. We have considered each in
this appraisal to develop an opinion of the market value of the subject property. In appraisal
practice, an approach to value is included or eliminated based on its applicability to the property
type being valued and the quality of information available. The reliability of each approach is
dependent upon the availability and comparability of the market data uncovered as well as the
motivation and thinking of purchasers in the market for a property such as the subject. Each
approach is discussed below, and applicability to the subject property is briefly addressed in the
following summary.
Land Value
Developing an opinion of land value is typically accomplished via the Sales Comparison
Approach by analyzing recent sales transactions of sites of comparable zoning and utility
adjusted for differences which exist between the comparables and the subject. Valuation is
typically accomplished using a unit of comparison such as price per square foot of land area.
Adjustments are applied to the unit of comparison from an analysis of comparable sales, and
the adjusted unit of comparison is then used to derive a value for the subject site.
Cost Approach
The Cost Approach is based upon the proposition that an informed purchaser would pay no
more for the subject than the cost to produce a substitute property with equivalent utility. This
approach is particularly applicable when the property being appraised involves relatively new
improvements which represent the highest and best use of the land; or when relatively unique or
specialized improvements are located on the site, for which there exist few improved sales or
leases of comparable properties.
In the Cost Approach, the appraiser forms an opinion of the cost of all improvements,
depreciating them to reflect any value loss from physical, functional and external causes. Land
value, entrepreneurial profit and depreciated improvement costs are then added resulting in a
value estimate for the subject property.
VALUATION SERVICES 19
VALUATION PROCESS
Summary
This appraisal employs all three typical approaches to value: the Cost Approach, the Sales
Comparison Approach and the Income Capitalization Approach. Based on our analysis and
knowledge of the subject property type and relevant investor profiles, it is our opinion that all
approaches would be considered meaningful and applicable in developing a credible value
conclusion.
The valuation process is concluded by analyzing each approach to value used in the appraisal.
When more than one approach is used, each approach is judged based on its applicability,
reliability, and the quantity and quality of its data. A final value opinion is chosen that either
corresponds to one of the approaches to value, or is a correlation of all the approaches used in
the appraisal.

LAND VALUATION
VALUATION SERVICES 21
LAND VALUATION
We used the Sales Comparison Approach to develop an opinion of land value. In this method,
we analyzed prices buyers have recently paid for similar sites in the market, as well as
examined current offerings. In making comparisons, we adjusted the sale prices for differences
between this site and the comparable sites. If the comparable was superior to the subject, a
downward adjustment was made to the comparable sale. If inferior, an upward adjustment was
made. We present on the following pages a summary of pertinent details of sites recently sold
that we compared to the subject site.
In the valuation of the subject site’s fee simple interest, the Sales Comparison Approach has
been used to establish prices being paid for comparably zoned land. The most widely used and
market oriented unit of comparison for properties with characteristics similar to those of the
subject is the sale price per square foot of land area. All transactions utilized in this analysis are
analyzed on this basis.
The major elements of comparison utilized to value the subject site include the property rights
conveyed, the financial terms incorporated into the transaction, the conditions or motivations
surrounding the sale, changes in market conditions since the sale, the location of the real
estate, its utility and the physical characteristics of the property.

COST APPROACH
Methodology
The Cost Approach is based on the principle of substitution, which states that no prudent person
will pay more for a property than the cost of acquiring a site and constructing, without undue
delay, an equally desirable and useful property. The steps have been outlined in the Valuation
Process section of this report. We have previously developed an opinion of land value of
$50,000.
Entrepreneurial Profit
Entrepreneurial profit represents the return to the developer for taking the construction and
lease-up risk. Based upon our discussions with developers in the local market, this figure tends
to range between 10.00 percent to 20.00 percent of Base Building, Site Improvement and Other
Indirect Costs. We have chosen to use 15.00 percent in our analysis.
VALUATION SERVICES 26
COST APPROACH
Accrued Depreciation
There are three sources of accrued depreciation:
Physical Deterioration: We have used the economic age-life method to develop an
opinion of physical deterioration. In the Improvements
Description section of this report, we developed an opinion that
the effective age of the subject to be 25 years and the economic
life to be 50 years. This results in a physical deterioration of
50.00 percent (effective age divided by economic life).
Functional Obsolescence: The subject was originally constructed as a bank building. Its
multi-story design is considered less functional for modern bank
operations than a one-story structure. While it can still be
utilized for bank operations, it is anticipated that at some future
date, it will be more functional for general office space.
Therefore, functional obsolescence is 25.00 percent.
External Obsolescence: Based upon a review of the specific location of the subject as
well as the local bank branch/office market, the subject property
is not affected by external obsolescence.
Total Depreciation: The sum of these elements of accrued depreciation is 75.00
percent.
Stabilization Expense: The subject property is not operating at a stabilized occupancy
level. As such, we have made the appropriate deduction
associated with leasing up the subject to a more market-
oriented occupancy level. This deduction accounts for rent loss,
shortfall in operating expense reimbursement, tenant
improvements and leasing commissions. In the case of the
subject property, this stabilization expense is placed at
$119,131.

SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
Methodology
In the Sales Comparison Approach, we developed an opinion of value by comparing the subject
property with similar, recently sold properties in the surrounding or competing area. Inherent in
this approach is the principle of substitution, which states that when a property is replaceable in
the market, its value tends to be set at the cost of acquiring an equally desirable substitute
property, assuming that no costly delay is encountered in making the substitution.
By analyzing sales that qualify as arm’s-length transactions between willing and knowledgeable
buyers and sellers, we can identify value and price trends. The basic steps of this approach are:
1. Research recent, relevant property sales and current offerings throughout the competitive
area;
2. Select and analyze properties that are similar to the property appraised, analyzing changes
in economic conditions that may have occurred between the sale date and the date of value,
and other physical, functional, or locational factors;
3. Identify sales that include favorable financing and calculate the cash equivalent price;
4. Reduce the sale prices to a common unit of comparison such as price per square foot of
net rentable area, effective gross income multiplier, or net income per square foot;
5. Make appropriate comparative adjustments to the prices of the comparable properties to
relate them to the property being appraised; and
6. Interpret the adjusted sales data and draw a logical value conclusion.
The most widely used and market-oriented unit of comparison for properties such as the subject
is the sales price per square foot of net rentable area. All comparable sales were analyzed on
this basis. On the following pages we present a summary of the improved properties that we
compared to the subject property, a map showing their locations, and the adjustment process.
Due to the nature of the subject property and the level of detail available for the comparable
data, we have elected to analyze the comparables through application of a traditional
adjustment grid utilizing percentage adjustments.
The sales that we have utilized represent the best available information that could be compared
to the subject property. The major elements of comparison for an analysis of this type include
the property rights conveyed, the financial terms incorporated into a particular transaction, the
conditions or motivations surrounding the sale, changes in market conditions since the sale, the
location of the real estate, its physical traits and the economic characteristics of the property.
We have made a downward adjustment to those comparables considered superior to the
subject. Conversely, an upward adjustment was made to those comparables considered to be
inferior.

VALUATION SERVICES 34
INCOME CAPITALIZATION APPROACH
Methodology
The Income Capitalization Approach is a method of converting the anticipated economic
benefits of owning property into a value through the capitalization process. The principle of
“anticipation” underlies this approach in that investors recognize the relationship between an
asset’s income and its value. In order to value the anticipated economic benefits of a particular
property, potential income and expenses must be projected, and the most appropriate
capitalization method must be selected.
The two most common methods of converting net income into value are Direct Capitalization
and Discounted Cash Flow. In direct capitalization, net operating income is divided by an overall
capitalization rate to indicate an opinion of market value. In the discounted cash flow method,
anticipated future cash flows and a reversionary value are discounted to an opinion of net
present value at a chosen yield rate (internal rate of return).
Based upon the above, both methods are appropriate in this assignment.
Occupancy Status
Wachovia Bank will occupy 9,000 square feet or 64.29 percent of the total NRA for a 20 year
term at $5.92 per square foot per annum (Base Rent) increasing 1.5 percent every 5 years of
the term. The lease is absolute net whereby the tenant is responsible for all operating expenses
(including management) and real estate taxes.

responsible for base year expenses and capital expenditures.
Operating Expenses
We have developed an opinion of the property’s annual operating expenses after reviewing the
operating performance of similar buildings. We analyzed each item of expense and developed
an opinion as to what a typical informed investor would consider normal. We were provided with
the 2003 actual historical expenses on the subject property, but have relied on the expenses of

Tenant Improvements: The second and third floor office space was in shell-like condition as of
the date of inspection. However, it appears that this space could be
renovated and rented. We have estimated an initial tenant improvement
allowance for this portion of the building of $15.00 per square foot.
Contract Rent Increases: Leases are assumed to flat.
Expense Reimbursements: Future tenants are assumed to be responsible for their pro rata share of
increases over base year real estate taxes and operating expenses while
the landlord is responsible for base year expenses and capital
expenditures.
Capital Expenditures: The building was in average condition at the time of our inspection. We
do not foresee any major capital expenditures in the near future.

As a result, we have applied a 9.50 percent terminal capitalization rate in our analysis.
The above table summarizes the investment parameters of some of the most prominent
investors currently acquiring similar investment properties in the United States. We realize that
this type of survey reflects target rather than transactional rates. Transactional rates are usually
difficult to obtain in the verification process and are actually only target rates of the buyer at the
time of sale. The property’s performance will ultimately determine the actual yield at the time of
sale after a specific holding period.
Based upon the amount of income derived from the Wachovia Bank lease as it relates to total
cash flow, we have discounted our cash flow and reversionary value projections at an internal
rate of return of 9.00 percent.

PROSPECTIVE PRESENT VALUE
Cash Flow Before Debt Service plus Property Resale
Discounted Annually (Endpoint on Cash Flow & Resale) over a 21-Year Period
We have placed greater reliance on the discounted cash flow analysis. Therefore, our opinion
of market value via the Income Capitalization Approach is as follows:
VALUATION SERVICES 49
RECONCILIATION AND FINAL VALUE OPINION
Because the subject property is leased on a long-term basis to a credit tenant, we have given
most weight to the Income Capitalization Approach This mirrors the methodology that a
purchaser of a property like the subject would place most emphasis on.
Based on our Complete Appraisal as defined by the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice, we have developed an opinion that the “as is” market value of the Leased
Fee estate of the referenced property, subject to the assumptions, limiting conditions,
certifications, and definitions, on June 17, 2004 was:
$550,000
VALUATION SERVICES 50
“AS DARK” VALUE
In order to estimate the “As Dark” Value, we have utilized the Direct Capitalization Method of the
Income Capitalization Approach. We first derived the Fee Simple Stabilized Market Value by
estimating market lease terms for the entire building which is assumed to be vacant. We then
deducted rent loss based upon an assumed average lease-up period, tenant improvements,
leasing commissions, and operating expenses and real estate taxes over the absorption period
to derive “As Dark” Value.
x Our market rent and expense estimates were based upon the rent and expense
comparables cited in the previous section of the report.
x Our vacancy estimate was based upon current market vacancy and our perception of
average vacancy over the long term.
x The capitalization rate was based upon the improved sales illustrated in the Sales
Comparison Approach and the Korpacz Real Estate Investor Survey previously cited.
x We have assumed a lease-up to stabilized occupancy of 9 months. As this lease-up is
assumed to occur evenly over the 9 month absorption period, we have used an average of 9
months to calculate rent loss.
x Tenant improvements, leasing commissions and holding costs were based up on our
conclusions within the previous section of the report.
Please refer to the following two charts for our derivation of “As Dark” Value.

INSURABLE VALUE
Insurable Value is directly related to the portion of the real estate which is covered under the
asset’s insurance policy. We have based this opinion on the building’s replacement cost new
(RCN) which has no direct correlation with its actual market value.
The replacement cost new is the total construction cost of a new building built using modern
technology, materials, standards and design, but built to the same specifications of and with the
same utility as the building being appraised. For insurance purposes, replacement cost new
includes all direct costs necessary to construct the building improvements. Items which are not
considered include land value, site improvements, indirect costs, accrued depreciation and
entrepreneurial profit. To develop an opinion of insurable value, exclusions for below-grade
foundations and architectural fees must be deducted from replacement cost new.
We developed an opinion of replacement cost new by using the Calculator Cost Method
developed by Marshall Valuation Service, a nationally recognized cost estimating company
which estimates construction costs for all types of improvements. Marshall Valuation Service
revises its cost factors monthly and adjusts them to reflect regional and local cost variations.

ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
"Appraisal" means the appraisal report and opinion of value stated therein, to which these
Assumptions and Limiting Conditions are annexed.
"Property" means the subject of the Appraisal.
"C&W" means Cushman & Wakefield, Inc. or its subsidiary which issued the Appraisal.
"Appraiser" or “Appraisers” means the employee(s) of C&W who prepared and signed the
Appraisal.
General Assumptions
This appraisal is made subject to the following assumptions and limiting conditions:
1. No opinion is intended to be expressed and no responsibility is assumed for the legal
description or for any matters which are legal in nature or require legal expertise or
specialized knowledge beyond that of a real estate appraiser. Title to the Property is
assumed to be good and marketable and the Property is assumed to be free and clear of all
liens unless otherwise stated. No survey of the Property was undertaken.
2. The information contained in the Appraisal or upon which the Appraisal is based has been
gathered from sources the Appraiser assumes to be reliable and accurate. Some of such
information may have been provided by the owner of the Property. Neither the Appraiser nor
C&W shall be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of such information, including
the correctness of opinions, dimensions, sketches, exhibits and factual matters.
3. The opinion of value is only as of the date stated in the Appraisal. Changes since that date
in external and market factors or in the Property itself can significantly affect property value.
4. The Appraisal is to be used in whole and not in part. No part of the Appraisal shall be used
in conjunction with any other appraisal. Publication of the Appraisal or any portion thereof
without the prior written consent of C&W is prohibited. Except as may be otherwise stated in
the letter of engagement, the Appraisal may not be used by any person other than the party
to whom it is addressed or for purposes other than that for which it was prepared. No part of
the Appraisal shall be conveyed to the public through advertising, or used in any sales or
promotional material without C&W's prior written consent. Reference to the Appraisal
Institute or to the MAI designation is prohibited, except as it relates to the collaboration
between C&W and the Appraisal Institute relative to the Real Estate Outlook publication.
5. Except as may be otherwise stated in the letter of engagement, the Appraiser shall not be
required to give testimony in any court or administrative proceeding relating to the Property
or the Appraisal.
6. The Appraisal assumes (a) responsible ownership and competent management of the
Property; (b) there are no hidden or unapparent conditions of the Property, subsoil or
structures that render the Property more or less valuable (no responsibility is assumed for
such conditions or for arranging for engineering studies that may be required to discover
them); (c) full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local zoning and
environmental regulations and laws, unless noncompliance is stated, defined and analyzed
in the Appraisal; and (d) all required licenses, certificates of occupancy and other
governmental consents have been or can be obtained and renewed for any use on which
the value opinion contained in the Appraisal is based.
7. The physical condition of the improvements analyzed within the Appraisal is based on visual
inspection by the Appraiser or other person identified in the Appraisal. C&W assumes no
VALUATION SERVICES 55
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
responsibility for the soundness of structural members nor for the condition of mechanical
equipment, plumbing or electrical components.
8. The projected potential gross income referred to in the Appraisal may be based on lease
summaries provided by the owner or third parties. The Appraiser has not reviewed lease
documents and assumes no responsibility for the authenticity or completeness of lease
information provided by others. C&W recommends that legal advice be obtained regarding
the interpretation of lease provisions and the contractual rights of parties.
9. The projections of income and expenses are not predictions of the future. Rather, they are
the Appraiser's opinion of current market thinking on future income and expenses. The
Appraiser and C&W make no warranty or representation that these projections will
materialize. The real estate market is constantly fluctuating and changing. It is not the
Appraiser's task to predict or in any way warrant the conditions of a future real estate
market; the Appraiser can only reflect what the investment community, as of the date of the
Appraisal, envisages for the future in terms of rental rates, expenses, supply and demand.
10. Unless otherwise stated in the Appraisal, the existence of potentially hazardous or toxic
materials which may have been used in the construction or maintenance of the
improvements or may be located at or about the Property was not analyzed in arriving at the
opinion of value. These materials (such as formaldehyde foam insulation, asbestos
insulation and other potentially hazardous materials) may adversely affect the value of the
Property. The Appraisers are not qualified to detect such substances. C&W recommends
that an environmental expert be employed to determine the impact of these matters on the
opinion of value.
11. Unless otherwise stated in the Appraisal, compliance with the requirements of the
Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) has not been analyzed in arriving at the
opinion of value. Failure to comply with the requirements of the ADA may adversely affect
the value of the property. C&W recommends that an expert in this field be employed.
12. Additional work requested by the client beyond the scope of this assignment will be billed at
our prevailing hourly rate. Preparation for court testimony, update valuations, additional
research, depositions, travel or other proceedings will be billed at our prevailing hourly rate,
plus reimbursement of expenses.
13. The reader acknowledges that Cushman & Wakefield of Pennsylvania has been retained
hereunder as an independent contractor to perform the services described herein and
nothing in this agreement shall be deemed to create any other relationship between us. This
assignment shall be deemed concluded and the services hereunder completed upon
delivery to you of the appraisal report discussed herein.
14. This study has not been prepared for use in connection with litigation and this document is
not suitable for use in a litigation action. Accordingly, no rights to expert testimony, pretrial or
other conferences, deposition, or related services are included with this appraisal. If, as a
result of this undertaking, C&W or any of its principals, its appraisers or consultants are
requested or required to provide any litigation services, such shall be subject to the
provisions of the C&W engagement letter or, if not specified therein, subject to the
reasonable availability of C&W and/or said principals or appraisers at the time and shall
further be subject to the party or parties requesting or requiring such services paying the
then-applicable professional fees and expenses of C&W either in accordance with the
provisions of the engagement letter or arrangements at the time, as the case may be.
VALUATION SERVICES 56
ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS
Extraordinary Assumptions
An extraordinary assumption is defined as “an assumption, directly related to a specific
assignment, which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.
Extraordinary assumptions presume as fact otherwise uncertain information about physical,
legal or economic characteristics of the subject property or about conditions external to the
property, such as market conditions or trends, or the integrity of data used in an analysis”
(USPAP).
The appraisal employs the following extraordinary assumptions:
1) All existing leases to third party tenants on non Wachovia Bank space are assumed to be
gross whereby the landlord is responsible for all expenses. All renewal options on this space are
not assumed to be exercised.
2) All space on a month to month basis is assumed to be vacant.
3) The annual Base Rent for the Wachovia Bank space over the first 5 years of the lease is
assumed to be $5.92 per square foot increasing 1.5 percent every 5 years over the 20 year
initial lease term.
4) We have assumed the 20 year Wachovia Bank lease commences as of our effective date of
valuation and that none of the six 5 year renewal options are exercised as it is uncertain as to
the Bank’s needs in 20 years.
5) The building square footage used to estimate market value is based upon information
supplied to us by the buyer. We have assumed that this figure is an accurate reflection of the
subject building's size.
Hypothetical Conditions
A hypothetical condition is defined as “that which is contrary to what exists, but is supposed for
the purpose of analysis. Hypothetical conditions assume conditions contrary to known facts
about physical, legal, or economic characteristics of the subject property or about conditions
external to the property, such as market conditions or trends, or the integrity of data used in an
analysis” (USPAP).
This appraisal employs the following hypothetical condition:
1) As the subject property is leased, the "As Dark" Value assumes the entire property is vacant
and available for lease at current market terms.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mount Carmel
50 & 51 West 3rd Street
Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania 17851
ENTRIX, Inc. (ENTRIX) has completed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the
commercial properties located at 50 and 51 West 3rd Street in the Borough of Mount Carmel,
Northumberland County, Pennsylvania (Subject Property), for the benefit of the American Financial
Realty Trust. The project scope-of-work was designed and executed to assess the potential for recognized
environmental conditions associated with the real property.
The project goals were achieved by application of industry-standard research and site inspection protocols
for such assessments. Specifically, the project scope-of-work was based on the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment Process (E 1527-00).
The Subject Property consists of a 3-story, 14,000 square foot building constructed in the 1920’s, and a
motor bank located across West 3rd Street including a building of approximately 420 square feet. The
building is occupied by Wachovia Bank. Operations conducted at the Subject Property include:
The main bank building is utilized as a commercial bank branch and was built between 1913 and 1920 as
a bank building. The first floor includes the bank lobby and offices, while the second floor is used as a
training center. The third floor is vacant with an unfinished renovation. The motor bank is located across
West 3rd Street from the main building and includes the motor bank and an asphalt parking lot. The motor
bank was constructed between 1978 and 1980. The area in the immediate vicinity of the properties
includes a gas station and mini-mart, residential properties, and commercial shops.
No aboveground (AST) or underground storage tanks (UST) have been utilized on the Subject Property.
Additionally, no significant volumes of hazardous substances are stored on-site.
Two leaking underground storage tank (LUST) sites are located within ½ mile of the Subject Property,
both of which are closed. Four UST sites are located ¼ mile of the Subject Property. Impacts to the
Subject Property, if any, are unknown.
Recommendation:
An asbestos survey should be considered to determine if ACM’s are present. If identified through
sampling and analysis, the ACM’s should be abated and/or managed.
Recommendation:
Radon testing should be conducted (at a minimum) to verify whether high levels of radon exist. If high
levels of radon are discovered, the installation of a radon mitigation system should be considered.
Recommendation:
No recommendation.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
ENTRIX, Inc. (ENTRIX) was retained by American Financial Realty Trust to conduct a Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the following Subject Property:
Mount Carmel
50 & 51 West 3rd Street
Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania 17851
The purpose of the assessment was to identify potential environmental issues due to current and historical
activities conducted on or near the Subject Property. During the site inspection, environmental conditions
of the Subject Property and neighboring properties were noted. Additional information used to evaluate
the Subject Property was obtained from historical and regulatory agency sources. The environmental
assessment was conducted based on the methods and procedures described in the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment Process (E 1527-00). Information regarding the site inspection is
presented below:
Date(s) of site inspection: May 27, 2004.
Name(s) of ENTRIX staff that performed the site inspection: Mr. Stephen G. Kilper.
Name(s) of Subject Property representatives providing information during site inspection:
At the time of the site inspection, the Subject Property status was:
active/occupied vacant/closed other:
undergoing occupancy undergoing closure
At the time of the site inspection, the Subject Property was utilized/recently utilized as:
commercial office facility bank branch with adjacent motor bank
bank branch other:
The Northumberland County Tax Assessors Office searched diligently for the property records card for
the Subject Property, but was unable to find cards for either the main bank building property or the motor
bank property. According to their map, they have the property listed as being owned by Liberty State
Bank.
1.2 LIMITATIONS
An ENTRIX Phase I ESA is limited to visual observations of site conditions on the day inspected, review
of readily available and relevant data and statements made and information provided by the client, his
agents, outside parties and regulatory agencies. ENTRIX has exercised due diligence and customary care
in the conduct of its assessment. The Phase I ESA is a limited and non-exhaustive survey that is intended
to evaluate whether readily available information indicates that the historic or current use of the Subject
Property has resulted in contamination by hazardous substances or waste. As a result, without a
comprehensive sampling and analysis program or implementation of services beyond the original scope-
of-work, certain conditions, including, but not limited to those summarized below, may not be revealed:
x Naturally occurring toxic substances or elements found in the subsurface soils, rocks or water;
x Toxic substances commonly found in current habitable environments, such as, stored household
products, building materials, and consumables;
x Biological or infectious agents and pathogens;
x Contaminant plumes (liquid or gaseous) below the surface from a remote or unknown source;
x Contaminants or conditions that do not violate current regulatory standards, but may violate such
standards in the future; and
x Unknown, reported and not readily visible site contamination.
In preparing this report, ENTRIX has reviewed historical records, conducted interviews with certain
private and public officials, and performed an on-site visual inspection of the property. ENTRIX has
examined and relied upon documents referenced in the report and has relied on oral statements made by
certain individuals. ENTRIX has not conducted an independent examination of the facts contained in
referenced materials and statements. ENTRIX has assumed the genuineness of the documents and that
the information provided in documents or statements is true and accurate. Based on time constraints of
the project, some regulatory files (not readily available) could not be reviewed. ENTRIX has prepared
this report in a professional manner, using that degree of skill and care exercised for similar projects
under similar conditions by reputable and competent environmental consultants. ENTRIX shall not be
responsible for conditions or consequences arising from relevant facts that were concealed, withheld, or
not fully disclosed at the time the report was prepared. ENTRIX also notes that the facts and conditions
referenced in this report may change over time and the conclusions and recommendations set forth herein
are applicable only to the facts and conditions as described at the time of this report and the site
inspection. ENTRIX believes the conclusions stated herein to be factual, but no guarantee is made or
implied.
This report has been prepared for the benefit of American Financial Realty Trust. The information
contained in this report, including all exhibits and attachments, may not be used by any other party
without the express written consent of ENTRIX. The use of this report by third parties shall be at their
own risk.

2.3.14 Radon
Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, radioactive gas that results from the decay of Radium-226.
Radium occurs naturally in small quantities in most rocks and soil, radon is continuously released into
soil, underground water, and outdoor air. Radon is chemically inert and moves freely without combining
with other materials. In indoor air, radon emitted from soil is quickly diluted to very low concentrations.
Relatively high concentrations of radon can accumulate inside buildings where radon-containing soil gas
infiltrates buildings through openings such as cracks, joints and utility penetrations. As a comparison,
average outdoor radon concentrations tend to range from approximately 0.1 to 0.2 pico-Curies per liter
(pCi/L).
According to the EDR report, the Subject Property is located in Federal EPA Zone:
Zone 1 indoor average level > 4 pCi/L.
Zone 2 indoor average level >=2 pCi/L and <=4 pCi/L.
Zone 3 indoor average level <2 pCi/L.
Comments regarding radon: Radon levels specific to the Subject Property can only be determined through
radon sampling and testing.
2.3.15 Mold
Mold is commonly found in homes or buildings, which have sustained flooding or water damage from
broken pipes, roof leaks sewage backups, HVAC condensation, etc. Mold is most common on the paper
covering of drywall and wallpaper, ceiling tiles, paper, products, carpets with natural fibers, paper
coverings on insulated pipes, insulation material on wood, food and on general organic debris. Potential
health effects and symptoms associated with mold exposures include allergic reactions, asthma and other
respiratory complaints.
A visual inspection of accessible building materials was conducted by ENTRIX in an effort to identify
areas of potential mold. The visual inspection did not include inaccessible spaces within the site building.
Determination of whether Subject Property buildings contain mold can only be ascertained by performing
a mold spore sampling survey.
Yes No Area of potential mold was identified during the site inspection.
Yes No Water damage or potential mold was reported by facility personnel.
As part of this assessment, ENTRIX obtained and reviewed State and Federal regulatory agency database
listings concerning the current and historical activities conducted at the Subject Property and immediate
surrounding area. The regulatory database information, provided by EDR, complies with the ASTM
Standard E 1527-00 for government records review. Database information and corresponding search
distances from the Subject Property are included in Table 3-1. The database report is included as

ENTRIX was retained by American Financial Realty Trust to conduct a Phase I ESA of the commercial
property located at 50 and 51 West 3rd Street in the Borough of Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania. The
Subject Property was inspected by ENTRIX staff on May 27, 2004, in an effort to identify potential
environmental issues that may exist due to current and past activities conducted on or near the Subject
Property. In association with the site inspection, the assessment included regulatory agency records
review and inquiry, and related historical research.
Based on the investigation, the following environmental issues were identified:
Recommendation:
An asbestos survey should be considered to determine if ACMs are present. If identified through
sampling and analysis, the ACMs should be abated and/or managed.
Recommendation:
Radon testing should be conducted (at a minimum) to verify whether high levels of radon exist. If high
levels of radon are discovered, the installation of a radon mitigation system should be considered.
Recommendation:
No recommendation.
ENTRIX requested and/or obtained readily available environmental/real estate reports and other relevant
sources of information during the preparation of this report. This section provides a summary of the
references reviewed. Note that this summary does not identify environmental/real estate reports and other

OTHER DATABASE(S)
Depending on the geographic area covered by this report, the data provided in these specialty databases may or may not be
complete. For example, the existence of wetlands information data in a specific report does not mean that all wetlands in the
area covered by the report are included. Moreover, the absence of any reported wetlands information does not necessarily
mean that wetlands do not exist in the area covered by the report.
Oil/Gas Pipelines: This data was obtained by EDR from the USGS in 1994. It is referred to by USGS as GeoData Digital Line Graphs
from 1:100,000-Scale Maps. It was extracted from the transportation category including some oil, but primarily
gas pipelines.
Sensitive Receptors: There are individuals deemed sensitive receptors due to their fragile immune systems and special sensitivity
to environmental discharges. These sensitive receptors typically include the elderly, the sick, and children. While the location of all
sensitive receptors cannot be determined, EDR indicates those buildings and facilities - schools, daycares, hospitals, medical centers,
and nursing homes - where individuals who are sensitive receptors are likely to be located.

EDR’s GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum has been developed to assist the environmental professional
with the collection of physical setting source information in accordance with ASTM 1527-00, Section 7.2.3.
Section 7.2.3 requires that a current USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Map (or equivalent, such as the USGS Digital
Elevation Model) be reviewed. It also requires that one or more additional physical setting sources be sought
when (1) conditions have been identified in which hazardous substances or petroleum products are likely
to migrate to or from the property, and (2) more information than is provided in the current USGS 7.5 Minute
Topographic Map (or equivalent) is generally obtained, pursuant to local good commercial or customary practice,
to assess the impact of migration of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. Such
additional physical setting sources generally include information about the topographic, hydrologic, hydrogeologic,
and geologic characteristics of a site, and wells in the area.
Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components:
Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics
of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the geologic strata.
EDR’s GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum is provided to assist the environmental professional in
forming an opinion about the impact of potential contaminant migration.
TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to
assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or,
should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

Target Property Elevation: 1087 ft.
Source: Topography has been determined from the USGS 7.5’ Digital Elevation Model and should be evaluated
on a relative (not an absolute) basis. Relative elevation information between sites of close proximity
should be field verified.
HYDROLOGIC INFORMATION
Surface water can act as a hydrologic barrier to groundwater flow. Such hydrologic information can be used to assist
the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should
contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.
Refer to the Physical Setting Source Map following this summary for hydrologic information (major waterways
and bodies of water).
HYDROGEOLOGIC INFORMATION
Hydrogeologic information obtained by installation of wells on a specific site can often be an indicator
of groundwater flow direction in the immediate area. Such hydrogeologic information can be used to assist the
environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should
contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.
AQUIFLOW®
Search Radius: 1.000 Mile.
EDR has developed the AQUIFLOW Information System to provide data on the general direction of groundwater
flow at specific points. EDR has reviewed reports submitted by environmental professionals to regulatory
authorities at select sites and has extracted the date of the report, groundwater flow direction as determined
hydrogeologically, and the depth to water table.

According to ASTM E 1527-00, Section 7.2.2, "one or more additional state or local sources of environmental
records may be checked, in the discretion of the environmental professional, to enhance and supplement federal
and state sources... Factors to consider in determining which local or additional state records, if
any, should be checked include (1) whether they are reasonably ascertainable, (2) whether they are sufficiently
useful, accurate, and complete in light of the objective of the records review (see 7.1.1), and (3) whether they
are obtained, pursuant to local, good commercial or customary practice." One of the record sources listed in Section
7.2.2 is water well information. Water well information can be used to assist the environmental professional in
assessing sources that may impact groundwater flow direction, and in forming an opinion about the impact of
contaminant migration on nearby drinking water wells.
Note: PWS System location is not always the same as well location.

REPRESENTATIVE EXPERIENCE
Mr. Kilper has successfully managed all facets of multiple environmental businesses and has been the
CEO of eight subsidiaries of publicly owned corporations, as well as being a Director of two corporations.
These companies have included: environmental consulting, environmental construction, solid waste
management, and both environmental and radiochemistry laboratories. Mr. Kilper was charged with the
regulatory compliance in these heavily regulated businesses as well as P&L, public affairs, contract
negotiation, marketing, strategic planning, project management, acquisitions, personnel management, and
capital projects. As part of these functions, Mr. Kilper has successfully expedited numerous
environmental and business projects and has added shareholder value to all of these companies.
Mr. Kilper’s major projects have included planning and execution of tens of millions of dollars of
environmental construction and permitting projects that have added hundreds of millions of dollars of
value for the permittee, acquisition due diligence for acquisitions in excess of $150 million, expert witness
projects, economic analysis, value engineering that has saved clients millions of dollars, public meetings,
wetland permitting and mitigation, and several hundred other successful projects. These projects typically
involve all aspects of environmental work including air emissions, land resources, surface and ground
water resources, and logistical evaluations and planning. Mr. Kilper specializes in saving his clients many
multiples of his cost.
Mr. Kilper’s clients include multibillion dollar chemical manufacturers, large government contractors, law
firms, major power companies, the Army Corps of Engineers, state agencies and municipalities, solid
waste management companies, steel companies, developers, rail and road transportation companies, and a
myriad of large and small industrial concerns. His regulatory agency relationships have resulted in some
of the shortest approvals ever seen in Ohio, allowing his clients to enjoy expenditure savings and/or
revenue enhancement sometimes years ahead of similar projects managed by others.

SITE DESCRIPTION
Location
The Subject Property consists of a three-story, 14,000 square foot building constructed in the
1920’s, and a motor bank located across West 3rd Street including a building of
approximately 420 square feet. The building is occupied by Wachovia Bank. The area in the
immediate vicinity of the properties includes a gas station and mini-mart, residential
properties, and commercial shops.
According to the previously completed Phase I ESA,1 a wood-slatted barrel was found in a
room in the western portion of the basement, containing greenish-white crystalline particles
of approximately one-inch irregular shapes. The barrel was open and the northern side of the
barrel was rotted through. A whitish residue was on the floor around the barrel suggesting
the particles dissolved. Additionally, near the center of the basement, a 20 to 30 gallon steel
container was found labeled “metal polish”. The container had no further information
regarding its contents and appeared to be full. The container was somewhat rusty; however
no leaks were observed.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the a letter to MACTEC Engineering & Consulting, Inc., from Curren, a 25-gallon
container of metal polish and approximately 50-gallons of rock salt were removed from the
Subject Property on August 4, 2004, and are currently being stored at Curren’s storage yard.
The containers formerly located on the Subject Property are not likely to have
environmentally impacted the Subject Property. Therefore, no further investigation is
recommeded at this time. The letter of documentation from Curren is included in Attachment
B.
If you have any questions regarding this report, then please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,

There are a number of immediate repairs and modified capital reserve costs recommended over the evaluation
period. These needs are identified in the various sections of this report and are summarized in the attached cost
tables. A Project at a Glance summary table is provided as part of the Executive Summary.
According to property management personnel, all interior components relating to the tenant space, including the
roof, exterior walls, the parking lot, and related facilities are the responsibility of the tenant to maintain, repair, or
replace at the tenant’s own expense. This responsibility also extends to any exterior mechanical, electrical, or
plumbing equipment that services the tenant space, such as rooftop HVAC units and wall-mounted electrical
equipment.
122236
This section provides estimates for the repair and capital reserves items noted within this PCR.
These estimates are based on invoice or bid documents provided either by the Owner/facility and construction costs
developed by construction resources such as R.S. Means and Marshall & Swift, EMG’s experience with past costs
for similar properties, city cost indexes, and assumptions regarding future economic conditions.
1.3.1. Methodology
Based upon site observations, research, and judgment, along with referencing Expected Useful Life (EUL) tables
from various industry sources, EMG opines as to when a system or component will most probably necessitate
replacement. Accurate historical replacement records, if provided, are typically the best source of information.
Exposure to the elements, initial quality and installation, extent of use, the quality and amount of preventive
maintenance exercised, etc., are all factors that impact the effective age of a system or component. As a result, a
system or component may have an effective age that is greater or less than its actual chronological age. The
Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of a component or system equals the EUL less its effective age.
Where quantities could not be derived from an actual take-off, lump sum costs or allowances are used. Estimated
costs are based on professional judgment and the probable or actual extent of the observed defect, inclusive of the
cost to design, procure, construct and manage the corrections.
Immediate repairs are opinions of probable costs that require immediate action as a result of: (1) material existing or
potential unsafe conditions, (2) material building or fire code violations, or (3) conditions that, if left unremedied,
have the potential to result in or contribute to critical element or system failure within one year or will most
probably result in a significant escalation of its remedial cost.
Modified Capital Reserves are for recurring probable expenditures that are not classified as operation or
maintenance expenses. The modified capital reserves should be budgeted for in advance on an annual basis. Capital
reserves are reasonably predictable both in terms of frequency and cost. However, capital reserves may also include
components or systems that have an indeterminable life but nonetheless have a potential liability for failure within
an estimated time period.
Modified Capital Reserves exclude systems or components that are estimated to expire after the reserve term and
that are not considered material to the structural and mechanical integrity of the subject property. Furthermore,
systems and components that are not deemed to have a material effect on the use are also excluded. Costs that are
caused by acts of God, accidents, or other occurrences that are typically covered by insurance, rather than reserved
for, are also excluded.
Replacement costs are solicited from ownership/property management, EMG’s discussions with service companies,
manufacturers' representatives, and previous experience in preparing such schedules for other similar facilities.
Costs for work performed by the ownership’s or property management’s maintenance staff are also considered.
122236
EMG’s reserve methodology involves identification and quantification of those systems or components requiring
capital reserve funds within the evaluation period. The evaluation period is defined as the effective age plus the
reserve term. Additional information concerning system’s or component’s respective replacement costs (in today's
dollars), typical expected useful lives, and remaining useful lives were estimated so that a funding schedule could be
prepared. The Modified Capital Reserves Schedule presupposes that all recommended remedial work has been
performed or that monies for remediation have been budgeted for items defined in the Immediate Repairs Cost
Estimate.

2.1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to assist the Client in evaluating the physical aspects of this property and how its
condition may affect the Client’s financial decisions over time. For this PCA, representative samples of the major
independent building components were observed and their physical conditions were evaluated in accordance with
ASTM E2018-01. These components include the site and building exteriors, representative interior areas, and the
interior of the building. The estimated cost for repairs and/or capital reserve items are included in the cost estimates
presented in the previous section. All findings relating to these opinions of probable costs are included in the
relevant narrative sections of this Report.
The property management staff and code enforcement agencies were interviewed for specific information relating to
the physical property, code compliance, available maintenance procedures, available drawings, and other
documentation.
The physical condition of building systems and related components is typically defined as being in one of three
conditions: Good, Fair, or Poor. For the purposes of this Report, the following definitions are used:
Good = Satisfactory as-is. Requires only routine maintenance during the evaluation period. Repair or
replacement may be required due to a system’s estimated useful life.
Fair = Satisfactory as-is. Repair or replacement is required due to current physical condition and/or
estimated remaining useful life.
Poor = Immediate repair, replacement, or significant maintenance is required.
Each building system or component is further identified with the following references if costs or other actions are
applicable:
RM = Routine maintenance
IR = Immediate Repair recommended
RR = Replacement Reserve cost recommended during the evaluation term
N/A = Not applicable.
ASTM E2018-01 requires that any deviations from the Guide be so stated within the report. EMG’s probable cost
threshold limitation is reduced from the Guide’s $3,000 to $1,000, thus allowing for a more comprehensive
assessment on smaller scale properties. Therefore, EMG’s opinions of probable costs that are individually less than
a threshold amount of $1,000 are typically omitted from this PCR. Comments and estimated costs regarding
identified deficiencies relating to life, safety or accessibility items are included regardless of this cost threshold.
In lieu of providing written record of communication forms, personnel interviewed from the facility and government
agencies are identified in Section 2.5. Relevant information based on these interviews is included in Sections 2.5. ,
3.1. , and other applicable report sections.
122236
Items required by ASTM E2018-01 are included within the Property Condition Assessment (PCA) and the
associated Property Condition Report (PCR). Additional “non-scope” considerations were addressed as part of
EMG’s PCA/PCR. These additional items are identified as follows:
PCA may be performed by a Professional Engineer, Registered Architect
PCR may be reviewed by a Professional Engineer or a Registered Architect other than the Field Observer
Property disclosure information is obtained from EMG’s Pre-Survey Questionnaire (copy included in the
Appendices of this Report)
A limited visual assessment for ADA accessibility utilizing EMG’s Accessibility Checklist (copy included in the
Appendices of this Report)
A limited visual assessment and review of the property for mold growth, conditions conducive to mold growth,
and evidence of moisture in accessible areas of the property
Preparation of the Modified Capital Reserves Schedule based upon a reserve term provided by the Client
Provide a statement on the property’s Remaining Useful Life
Provide cross-reference indexing between cost tables and report text
Provide Project At a Glance summary table
Determination of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Plain Zone for single address
properties
Determination of geographic Uniform Building Code Seismic Zone
Subject to the qualifications stated in this paragraph and elsewhere in this report, the Remaining Useful Life (RUL)
of the property is estimated to be not less than 35 years. The Remaining Useful Life estimate is an expression of a
professional opinion and is not a guarantee or warranty, expressed or implied. This estimate is based upon the
observed physical condition of the property at the time of EMG’s visit and is subject to the possible effect of
concealed conditions or the occurrence of extraordinary events such as natural disasters or other “acts of God” that
may occur subsequent to the date of EMG’s site visit.
The Remaining Useful Life for the property is further based on the assumption that: (a) the immediate and future
repairs for which replacement reserve funds are recommended are completed in a timely and workman-like manner,
and (b) a comprehensive program of preventive and remedial property maintenance is continuously implemented
using an acceptable standard of care. The Remaining Useful Life estimate is made only with regard to the expected
physical or structural integrity of the improvements on the property, and no opinion regarding economic or market
conditions, the present or future appraised value of the property, or its present or future economic utility, is
expressed by EMG.

The following personnel from the facility and government agencies were interviewed in the process of conducting
the PCA:
Prior to the PCA, relevant documentation was requested that could aid in the knowledge of the subject property’s
physical improvements, extent and type of use, and/or assist in identifying material discrepancies between reported
information and observed conditions. The review of submitted documents does not include comment on the
accuracy of such documents or their preparation, methodology, or protocol.
No documents were available for review. The Documentation Request Form is included in the Appendix.
A Pre-Survey Questionnaire was sent to the POC prior to the site visit. The questionnaire is included in the
appendices of this report, after EMG’s Accessibility Checklist. Information obtained from the questionnaire has
been used in the preparation of this PCR.
Weather conditions at the time of the site visit were clear, with temperatures in the 60’s (°F), and light winds.
122236
According to Mr. Joseph Bass of the Mount Carmel Building Department, there are no outstanding building code
violations on file. The Building Department does not have an annual inspection program. They only inspect new
construction, work that requires a building permit, and citizen complaints. A copy of the original Certificate of
Occupancy was requested, but was not available.
A review of the zoning classification information at the Mount Carmel Planning Department indicates that the
property is located within a C-2, Central Commercial zoning district and is a non-conforming, legal use.
Mount Carmel Fire Department personnel were not available to provide code compliance information. This
information has been requested through submission of a written request under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA). A copy of the request is included in Appendix C. Significant information will be forwarded upon receipt.
According to the Flood Insurance Rate Map, published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
and dated June 19, 1985 the property is located in Zone C, defined as an area outside the 500-year flood plain with
less than 0.2% annual probability of flooding. Annual Probability of Flooding of Less than one percent.
According to the 1997 Uniform Building Code Seismic Zone Map of the United States, the property is located in
Seismic Zone 2A, defined as an area of low to moderate probability of damaging ground motion.
Generally, Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination by entities to access and
use of “areas of public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” on the basis of disability. Regardless of its
age, these areas and facilities must be maintained and operated to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act
Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
Buildings completed and occupied after January 26, 1992 are required to comply fully with the ADAAG. Facilities
constructed prior to this date are held to the lesser standard of compliance to the extent allowed by structural
feasibility and the financial resources available. As an alternative, a reasonable accommodation pertaining to the
deficiency must be made.
During the PCA, a limited visual observation for ADA accessibility compliance was conducted. The scope of the
visual observation was limited to those areas set forth in EMG’s Accessibility Checklist provided in Appendix D of
this report. It is understood by the Client that the limited observations described herein does not comprise a full
ADA Compliance Survey, and that such a survey is beyond the scope of EMG’s undertaking. Only a representative
sample of areas was observed and, other than as shown on the Accessibility Checklist, actual measurements were
not taken to verify compliance.
At a bank property, the areas considered as public accommodation are the site itself, parking, the exterior accessible
route up to the building entrance, any interior route up to the tenant entrance, the interior, and the common area
restrooms.
122236
The facility does not appear to be accessible with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Elements as
defined by the ADAAG that are not accessible as stated within the priorities of Title III are as follows:
Parking
Adequate number of designated handicapped-accessible parking stalls and signage for vans is not provided.
(ADAAG Section 4.1.2.5b)
Estimated Cost: 1 @ $220 each = ...................................................................................................................... $220
A full ADA Compliance Survey may reveal additional aspects of the property that are not in compliance.
Corrections of these conditions should be addressed from a liability standpoint, but are not necessarily code
violations. The Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines concern civil rights issues as they pertain
to the disabled and are not a construction code, although many local jurisdictions have adopted the Guidelines as
such. The cost to address the achievable items noted above is $220 and is included as a lump sum in the Immediate
Repairs Cost Estimate (Table 1).
3.3. MOLD
As part of the PCA, EMG completed a limited, visual assessment for the presence of visible mold growth,
conditions conducive to mold growth, or evidence of moisture in readily accessible areas of the property. EMG
interviewed property personnel concerning any known or suspected mold contamination, water infiltration, or
mildew-like odor problems.
This assessment does not constitute a comprehensive mold survey of the property. The reported observations and
conclusions are based solely on interviews with property personnel and conditions observed in readily accessible
areas of the property at the time of the assessment. Sampling was not conducted as part of the assessment.
EMG observed the presence of visible, suspect mold growth, and water damage in the areas cited below:
The elevator equipment room in the basement.
Remediation can be conducted by properly trained building maintenance staff. In addition, the source of this
moisture should be addressed in order to prevent future mold problems. The estimated costs of corrective action are
of a minimal quantity, and consequently, are considered to be part of routine maintenance operations. No other
costs are included in the tables.
122236
The entire interior of the building was observed in order to gain a clear understanding of the property’s overall
condition. Other areas accessed included the exterior of the property and the roof.

10. CERTIFICATION
EMG has completed a Property Condition Assessment (PCA) of the subject property, Wachovia-Mount Carmel,
located at 50 West 3rd Street in Mount Carmel, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in order to prepare a
Property Condition Report (PCR).
The PCA was performed at the Client's request using methods and procedures consistent with good commercial and
customary practice conforming to ASTM E2018-01, Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments: Baseline
Property Condition Assessment Process. In addition, EMG’s reference to the “Client” follows the ASTM guide’s
definition of “User” in all instances pertaining to the published guide. A “User” may include, without limitation, a
purchaser, potential tenant, owner, existing or potential mortgagee, lender, or property manager of the subject
property.
This report has been prepared to assist in the determination of whether to make a loan evidenced by a note (the
“Mortgage Note”) secured by the property referred to in the Report. This Report may be relied upon by: (i) Lehman
Brothers Bank, FSB (“Lehman”), or an affiliate (“Lehman”); (ii) the trustee of a trust created in connection with a
securitization which includes the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; and (iii) any other purchaser or assignee of
the Mortgage Note or an interest therein. This Report may be, for informational purposes only: (i) provided to any
potential purchaser or assignee of the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; (ii) provided to any rating agency, rating
securities which represent a beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund that consists of mortgage loans including
the Mortgage Note or an interest therein; and (iii) referred to, quoted in or included with materials offering for sale
the Mortgage Note or an interest therein. There are no third party beneficiaries (intended or unintended) to this
Report, except as expressly stated herein. This Report speaks only as of its date.
We have performed our services and prepared this Report in accordance with applicable, general accepted
engineering, environmental or appraisal consulting practices. We make no other warranties, either expressed or
implied, as to the character and nature of such services and product.
The purpose for which this report shall be used shall be limited to the use as stated in the contract between the client
and EMG.
The opinions EMG expresses in this report were formed utilizing the degree of skill and care ordinarily exercised by
any prudent architect or engineer in the same community under similar circumstances. EMG assumes no
responsibility or liability for the accuracy of information contained within this report that has been obtained from the
Client or the Client’s representatives, from other interested parties, or from the public domain. The conclusions
presented represent EMG’s professional judgment based on information obtained during the course of this
assignment. EMG’s evaluations, analyses, and opinions are not representations regarding the design integrity,
structural soundness, or actual value of the property. Factual information regarding operations, conditions, and test
data provided by the Client or the Client’s representative has been assumed to be correct and complete. The
conclusions presented within this report are based on the data provided, observations made, and conditions that
existed specifically on the date of the assessment.
EMG certifies that EMG has no undisclosed interest in the subject property, that EMG’s relationship with the Client
is at arms-length, and that EMG’s employment and compensation are not contingent upon the findings or estimated
costs to remedy any noted deficiencies due to deferred maintenance and/or any noted component or system
replacements.
122236
EMG’s PCA cannot wholly eliminate the uncertainty regarding the presence of physical deficiencies and/or the
performance of a subject property’s building systems. Preparation of a PCR in accordance with ASTM E2018-01 is
intended to reduce, but not eliminate, the uncertainty regarding the potential for component or system failure and to
reduce the potential that such component or system failure may not be initially observed. This PCR was prepared
recognizing the inherent subjective nature of EMG’s opinions as to such issues as workmanship, quality of original
installation, and estimating the remaining useful life of any given component or system. It should be understood
that EMG’s suggested remedy may be determined under time constraints or may be formed without the aid of
engineering calculations, testing, exploratory probing, the removal of materials, or design. Furthermore, there may
be other alternate or more appropriate schemes or methods to remedy the noted physical deficiencies. EMG’s
opinions are generally formed without detailed knowledge from individuals familiar with the performance of noted
components or systems.
Any questions regarding this report should be directed to M. Shane Totten at (800) 733-0660, Extension 6653 or
